  1. About a year ago I was going though some old box’s at my mothers house and found this. I made it when I was 14 in shop class, that was 43 years ago. My butt was so boney back then it was not comfortable to use so threw it in a box. Now with more padding in my posterior it fits great and it actually has a bit of sentimental value.

  2. I get about 17-22 out my 2001 Cherokee running a K&N, a riser, and a flow master. I’m on 30s with no lift. But I keep my foot out of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Looks like they may have had to cut some people out. Cold chill just went up my spine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  4. I was thinking that too. I pried the glovebox open and it had a registration out of Apple Valley. Amazingly every thing in the glovebox was intact. Lots of burned cars showing up in the yard. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  5. Its an 86 2.5 Custom 4x2 with a perfect body. Crying shame that it came to this. Had the blue interior too. Got a great tailgate off it , and L taillight, the bed is scorched but the mettle is still straight. They gave me a price of 200 on the bed so as soon as I can it’s mine. Going to grab the tank, filler neck and fuel pump too. Bumper isn’t terrible but I would need a press to straighten it. It’s a hart breaker just to look at it. I’m going to need your help Blue Note Nick if your up for it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  6. Look at it this way, you got two good transmissions and your out only 100 bucks. Sell them and you could triple your money. The way you drive sounds like a they would work out well for you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  7. That Redline makes a huge difference. I was having the second gear synchro problem too. Did the redline and boom problem gone. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  8. Hay Nick if you get it I’ll help you get it on the road. Sounds like it could happen and if it’s a bad motor I’ve got two 4.0s at the house. Each have about 120,000 on them. Give me a call. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  9. Thoughts are with you paradise. Hope you make that decision when things have calmed down. We could help you find another when the time comes. I have allot of parts I could donate if needed. More then a few pop up on Craigslist here in LA. But l can help if you decide later to replace it. Best of luck to you and your family. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  13. Great pics thanks 88 Pioneer 4x4 auto LB D30/D44 88 Eliminator 4x2 5sp SB D35
  14. I actually got 21-22 on my 2001 Cherokee between CA and MO. I run a KN cone with 1” riser and flow master cat back. Averaged about 60-70 mph. I use fuel system cleaner pretty regularly. Following a moving truck. If I go above 70 it makes a huge difference in MPG. Though it’s hard to keep my foot out of it 88 Pioneer 4x4 auto LB D30/D44 88 Eliminator 4x2 5sp SB D35
  15. My god that was the funniest best written show on TV. If you watch that show today it’s still hilarious. And then you have Darrel and his other brother Darrel. What was the name of his second show where he owned the Inn. Was it just Bob Newhart? 88 Pioneer 4x4 auto LB D30/D44 88 Eliminator 4x2 5sp SB D35
  16. The actors in that show made millions in residuals. Once that show got syndicated basically after I think it’s four years of production various stations picked it up. Each time you saw the episodes the actors made money. I can recall flipping through the channels and that show was on three different stations at the same time. And the foreign residuals well huge too. That show ran all over the world for years. I think that’s why you really didn’t see too much of those actors after that show ended. They really made enough money to live for the rest of their lives. They didn’t have to work. I know Gary Bergogh had his fill of Hollywood and moved back to Florida prior to production ending. That’s why you didn’t see that much He departed after7 seasons. Then Klinger was featured more. I worked at Disney in the early 90s and he would stay at there camp ground in his motor home with his kids. Disney would pay stars to come in and make a few days of appearances at MGM STUDIOS PARK. I’m not sure if he did that he kept a pretty low profile after that show ended. Just wanted to have a simple life after that. I don’t think he was very comfortable with fame. He was an inventor he invented fishing tackle and a toilet seat. 88 Pioneer 4x4 auto LB D30/D44 88 Eliminator 4x2 5sp SB D35
  17. The copper pad is really close. The hike brought back some good memories. That was my dads favorite show. The flood must have really taken of the road into it. There’s no way they could have gotten heavy equipment laden trucks in there. On the way in I recognized a few of the locations where they did a few scenes. A few stands of old trees with the road winding through them were very Familiar. I seem to recall radar driving a Jeep through them. They must have had to build the road into it because the two bridges I saw were way over built. Solid concert over a stream bed out with heavy steel. I’m sure they were pulling 5ton if not semi trucks back in there. Now they are just over built bridges on a hiking path. I understand why they chose that location because it’s so remote and quite. There were hardy any planes going over. It must have been out of the main glide paths into LAX. that was before digital film so each take that the sound was bad was big bucks down the drain. And the chopper would have had pretty clear airspace to maneuver and get set up for shots. The valley were the camp was isn’t very big so they had some good pilots. It would have been a blast to hike in and watch the filming. I’m sure they would have had as locked down set. But there is allot of places in the mountains surrounding the set where you could watch with a set of binoculars. That would have been a kick. 88 Pioneer 4x4 auto LB D30/D44 88 Eliminator 4x2 5sp SB D35

  20. It been 35 years sense the final episode, can you believe that. Last weekend my girl and I hiked 3 miles into the sight where they shot the series. It’s in the Santa Monica mountains. The hike isn’t so bad just some steep hills. They had a flood last year that took out most of what was left of the buildings, and a fire had happened too, unfortunately. There are picnic tables set up under some camo netting where the mess tent was. We took a set then the most pleasant surprise happened. A guy walk over and asked if we wanted 2 grape Née Hi sodas, Radars favorite. He and his 3 sons had hiked in to celebrate with Nee’Hi sodas. He was a huge fan of the show and he didn’t want to carry them back. There is one store in LA that sells nothing but discontinued sodas. Small independent bottlers bought the rites and recipes and continue to distribute it. Just about everything you can think of is there. I bought a Tab there a few years ago. It’s a long way away from the Santa Monica mountains. This guy went through some trouble to get that soda here. Ya he was a supper fan. We talked it’s him for a while drank our Nee Hi and headed back. It was a great day and I’m glad I did it. They series did leave some of the trucks and one very torn up Jeep. 88 Pioneer 4x4 auto LB D30/D44 88 Eliminator 4x2 5sp SB D35
